For Women under 30, most births occur outside marriage

today march 12th ,2012 we read an article in class about the increase of children being born outside of a marriage, and that marriage is less common now. the article was written by Jason Deparle and Sabrina , Tavernise. the article takes place lorain , Ohio. in the article it states "Among mothers of all ages, a majority--59 percent in 2009-- are married when they have children. but the surge of births outside marriages  among younger women -- nearly two thirds of children  in the united states  are born to mothers under 30 -- is both a symbol of the transforming family and a hint of coming generational change." furthermore in the article it stated " by the mid-1990s, such figures looked quaint: a third of americans were born outside marriage. Congress largely blame welfare , imposed tough restrictions . now the figure 41 percent and 53 percent  for children born to women under 30 , according to child trends . which analyzed 2009 data from the national center for health statistics.  Also in the article it states “in lorain as eles where , explantions for martial decline start with home economics: men are worth less than they used to be. Among men with some college but no degrees, earings have fallen 8 percent in the past 30  years , according to the bureau of labor statistics, while the earinings of their female counterparts have risen by 8 percent.

I think the article is true about now mostly every female under 30 is having children without being married. Its because most guys or females are usually living in sin and well living together are usually the ones to get pregnant but then often times they break up which ends in a single parent. Most females under the age of 30 don’t need a guy/boy-friend/man to be there and help pay for the bills and take care  their children. Now and days publicized marriages aren’t very popular within a lot of place and communities. I don’t really have an opinion on whether it’s a good thing for women to have a child or children outside of a marriage. It’s a very bad trend because not a lot of women under 30 that are educated higher than high school or even get to go to college. I don’t expect to get married in the future because marriage is a burden and it changes everything. I don’t think I would wait till I was married to start having children. Honestly I would like to but I know it wouldn’t happen.
